Holiday House Tours!

The Friends of The
Mark Twain House & Museum Annual
Holiday House Tour

Sunday, December 4, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

One of the lovely homes decorated in 2009

Now that you're full up on your Thanksgiving feast, why not
get into the holiday spirit with one of our favorite events of the year? Visit
the Twain House in its holiday best, and get a unique chance to tour private
homes decked out for the season as well.

The Mark Twain House is decorated with garlands and gifts,
and area homes are open to your visit in a rare opportunity to savor
architecture and décor usually kept behind closed doors. Visit some of the
grand houses built by prominent local architects in the late 1800s, when Twain
lived here, and the early 1900s; and wonder at a house filled entirely with
trees. With music and festivity to go along with it, this event has been a
Hartford holiday tradition for more than thirty holiday seasons. Organized to a
T by our active Friends of The Mark Twain House & Museum group!

Gorgeous floral arrangements

Advance tickets are $30 each and can be purchased at The
Mark Twain House and from several local businesses. Tickets will be $35 each on
the day of the tour and can be purchased at the homes. For more information or
to purchase tickets, call 860-280-3130 or visit www.marktwainhouse.org.
Proceeds from the tour will benefit the continued restoration, preservation,
and education programs of The Mark Twain House, which is a National Historic
Landmark.

Welcome

We are located in Hartford, Connecticut, and celebrate the life of Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain). The home where he spent 17 years with his wife and daughters has been preserved as a testimony to his life and times.
